Found this very interesting article about how Android’s Doze Mode really works and how you can tweak the settings. For example how you can make doze mode ignore the motion sensor.

    Great article, wish I’d come across it when it was published in 2018.

    Apps like Greenify make tweaking Doze more user friendly - such as reducing the time required to get to Doze mode. Phones/batteries/Android versions before about Nougat really needed to get to Doze mode much more quickly than default.

    Tweaking Doze with Greenify brought my screen off battery consumption down significantly…anywhere from 25%-70%, depending on the phone and my usage patterns.

      Pay walled? There was a popup asking me to log in, but I just closed it and was still able to read the full article. My apologies if that was some kind of trial mode.

        Ah, I didn’t even try, haha. Saw the popup sling to login and immediately went to archive.ph.

        Well, now it’s archived, too.
